7 beach rentals

“Comfy getaway” Fantastic views of the sound and 2 minute walk to beach. The home is very comfortable with plenty of room for a large family. I loved the location because it is quieter than surf city but just a short drive away. Will rent again and hopefully the weather will be warmer.

“The perfect place to relax and have fun!” My husband, infant son, my parents, and I all had a wonderful time. The men went fishing on the wonderful dock, while us women relaxed and went shopping in Elizabethtown. It's a great place to stay! Got hooked on the glazed crossiants from Bernie's in downtown Elizabethtown. The owners will not steer you wrong on nearby places to go and see. We were close enough to visit White Lake and the water park. We will be renting again, maybe in the Fall next time and will be bringing more people to share this wonderful place with. A great vacation!

“A Classy Vacation Experience in any Season” My brother, who has problems walking, and I stayed at Sunnybank for a little under a week in the early spring when the Corolla horses are foaling. The layout of the well-appointed, three-storey main building was perfect for our needs: the fabulous view from the top floor living room provided the inspiration for him to walk up the grand stair case, and he could take the elevator when he was having problems walking. (There are two bedrooms with walk-in showers to accommodate people who have a problem walking.)
It rained the first two days, which might have been gloomy any where else, but the library of videos, and stashes of games and playing cards gave us the opportunity to connect in ways that we hadn't since we were children.
The fabulous cook's kitchen and multiple eating areas can accommodate a wedding party, family reunion, or any get away time one might want.
Mine was a working vacation and the office there, which is outfitted with excellent Ethernet and WiFi connections plus a daybed for napping, was a better arrangement than my office at home.
Comfort and casual, yet classy ambience abounds at Sunnybank. An excellent find!

“Excellent Location, beautiful view of the battleship!” This was a great place to stay if you're in Wilmington. It has the best views of the Battleship across the bay, and it is directly downtown within walking distance to everything!

“Great for large families” We would gladly stay at Kelly's Beach Retreat again. Corolla is one of the nicer parts of OBX despite being farther from the southern portions. Everything we needed was nearby and there was no part of OBX (except maybe Ocracoke) that we couldn't easily make a day trip of. The Currituck lighthouse complex is particularly close and was quite nice to visit. It was also the only lighthouse open for climbing during the first week of April. Weather was warm, chilly and everything in between, but mostly pleasant. There is plenty to see and do on the Outer Banks even for non-beachy people like my better half, who particularly enjoyed the Wright Brothers Memorial and Roanoke Island's Festival Park and Manteo waterfront shopping. The beach is an easy walk from the house even for young children and had more shells for collecting than anywhere else we've been. Also a great beach for long walks. Water was icy cold due to the time of year, but we had a great time anyway. The house was great and just what our large family of ten needed, with a bedroom to spare that we didn't use. It was very clean, updated, well-maintained and well-equipped, yet not so fancy that we had to worry all week about our kids breaking expensive or fragile decorations and furnishings. You could tell the place was set up with children in mind, which we appreciated. Lots of movies, games and cable TV for the kids, as well as beach toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, cart (which we also used as a beach stroller for our two-year-old) all provided. The ocean view from the third-floor deck was quite nice, and I enjoyed several sunrises there. You definitely are close enough to hear the waves, which I enjoy. All in all, it was a very enjoyable stay, and Glenn was a pleasure to work with. Two thumbs up.
